Falcons WR Roddy White had his knee drained in the offseason

Sep 10, 2014

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White revealed he had his left knee drained this offseason, but the 32-year-old veteran expressed no concerns about it affecting his play moving forward.

White, who appeared to bang the same knee during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints, declared himself "fine" and said no MRI was required after his latest bout with the knee. A member of the medical staff reached out to touch White's left knee as he winced in pain following a 39-yard catch and fall. He exited the field moments before halftime but was back in the lineup for the second half. White played 67 of 72 offensive snaps and finished with five catches for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact:

We did notice White limping in the 2nd quarter but he seemed fine after halftime. This is something to monitor as the season wears on. Owners who are jittery about aging players with knee problems should be able to get good return on White after a strong Week 1 performance. We aren't too worried about this, but injuries seem to be piling up for White, who is usually extremely dependable.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo, Nick Bosa, and Dre Greenlaw active for Week 15

In Week 15, the red and gold have defensive lineman Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw active and ready for the team's second meeting with their NFC West rival, the Los Angeles Rams.

On the other side of the ball, the 49ers will have rookie running back Isaac Guerendo available against the Rams. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday on account of a foot sprain but was given the green light to play ahead of "Thursday Night Football."

Fantasy Impact:

We do expect Guerendo to handle the majority workload for TNF, but you do have to wonder if he gets the same type of workload he would have, had he avoided the injury report all week. Consider him closer to an RB3 than a locked-in RB2 he otherwise would have been.
